Lyrics
Burn it Down
©2010 Westbound
Verse 1
No more wrong and right
The winds of change will blow
Love and fear run blind
Toward things we do not know
A raging in my chest
Catch my breath through tears
A thousand voices protest
But the road before me clears
Chorus
You won't break my heart this time
And I won't let you down
This fleeting life is chance enough
The time we have is now
So burn the bridge, incense the night
In pain and love and all
Turn your back, the past ignites
We'll strike the match and let it fall
Verse 2
Broken leaves keep falling
Sand slips through your hand
I hear the journey calling
And now I understand
The nighttime's muffled whispers
I'm dreaming of your face
Everything is screaming
That we have to leave this place
Verse 3
Slam the door behind you
Answering the pleas
Insistent ties will bind you
To empty guarantees
Feel the night surrender
Fears intensify
The longest trials render
Laughter after we cry
